ASSEMBLY.

Immediately after the reading OF the Journal,
Taylor OF Sacramento arose to Il question OF PRIV
ilege tie read from the REcoRD-GNIoN Il cIiti-
cism on the Committee on Public Morals He
did not deny the correctness OF the position
taken by the paper, nor criticlse the business OF
the article. He said his name was used as
member of that committee. 1t was true that he
was appointed on that committee, but some two
weeks ago he asked TO be excused from acting
thereon, and the Speaker had granted his re-
quest. He had not acted with the committee IN
the consideration of those bills, was in no wise
responsible for their acts, and he wished 1t I'M
derstOod that the criticism of the paper was III
no wise applicable to him.
Briefly rose to question OF privilege regard
ing certain charges that had been made against
him in the CORE pondence OF the san Francisco
Chronicle The article referred to said that
% Brierlys opposition to the University tax bill
was owing to the fact that his father had some
difficulty with the Trustees of the University"
Briefly said that his good old father died IN
1868 some years prior TO the founding OF the
University, and of course the statement was not
founded in fact. After this article appeared. he
informed the Chronicle correspondent of the
facts and was surprised to see 1t reproduced i'll
the same journal several days thereafter. lie
was satisfied that the correspondent was not re-
sponsible for its second appearance, ana was
equally as well satisfied that N. H. De Young,
the great shaper OF public morals, the exponent
OF truth and yeraciIy on this ceast, was lnstru-
mental in its reproduction Inc correspondent
at the Capitol had to write of things as directed
and not as he found or understood them. SO
ironcIad aTe his instructions that if he should
meet in his meauderings in this northern citrus
belt the virgin goddess Truth, he would have to
murmur, I'VE never speak as we pass by"
Assemblyman Barton also rose TO question
of privilege, to some criticisms III the Bee re-
gardiDg his vote on the Glenn county bill, IN
the Committee on County and Township Boun-
diaries. The Bee insinuated, he SAID, that he
had been fixed or had fallen down." He
claimed the right TO change his views. and said
he had done 50 from the purest motives lie
